Canals of Amsterdam Netherlands ☎ +31 6 22004433 Last Updated: 07/16/2025 |
| Amsterdam, capital of the Netherlands, has more than 100 kilometers (62 mi) of canals, about 90 islands and 1,500 bridges. The three main canals (Herengracht, Prinsengracht and Keizersgracht), dug in the 17th century during the Dutch Golden Age, form concentric belts around the city, known as the Grachtengordel. Alongside the main canals are 1,550 monumental buildings. | |
| The number of canals have led this city to become known as “The Venice of the North”. And thus, Amsterdam tourism trip is not complete without a boat cruise on these well known attractions in Amsterdam. A canal tour can be both fascinating and relaxing by day and enchanting and romantic at night when many of the houses and bridges are illuminated. And if you like boats there is also a large upcoming event about historical sail ships called Amsterdam SAIL. | |
